I need self-expanding foam tape to bridge and seal a gap for a garage floor. Sealing anything from 1-3cm in vertical distance. Good floor adhesion to concrete and primer. Oil-resistant, water-resistant, non-wicking, long-lasting, long-term flexible, and ideally with a barrier tape applied on top then it could also wick. And ideally breathable so I don't have mold behind. I know, I know.

In case you missed it, this post on 'The Critical Role of U.S. Federal Funding in Zooniverse' is a great overview of Zooniverse's contribution to participatory research infrastructure https://blog.zooniverse.org/2025/04/30/the-critical-role-of-u-s-federal-funding-in-zooniverse/

Saw an article today about the Virtual War Memorial and remembered that way back in 2008 at the National Archives we hacked together Google Maps and Tumblr to enable people to upload images and stories about WWI service people. In the 6 months following the site's launch there were more than 1,000 of these 'scrapbook' posts.

The NAA later rebuilt the site, and a couple of years ago they completely removed it. You can find bits on the Internet Archive & Trove, but I don't know how many of the posts were saved...

I wrote about creating the site here: https://discontents.com.au/local-heroes/index.html #GLAM #archives #crowdSourcing
